Taking a Break ~

yesterday evening I decided to take a much needed break and go for a walk ~
I brought my camera along in case anything interesting was snap-worthy...
 
you decide ~
(but be warned, there are lots of snaps, and a few surprises too!)

It was fun to take a stroll with you and enjoy the view.

Darn,you got to see the first black snake of spring before me. I've been looking but haven't seen one here yet. I'm not afraid of snakes either and enjoy watching them move.

Once I was surprised to see a rabbit attacking a snake which must have gotten a little too close to it's babies. Amazing the natural mother instinct that animals have.

beautiful pictures....I spotted that snake in the first photo, he scared me!!!!! You know that dove on the Proffett head stone would make a neat hooked/punched piece.
